Damyang County in Jeollanam-do announced on the 28th that, together with the 1388 Youth Support Group, it held a campaign to prevent school violence and prohibit harmful substances for youth around Damyangnam Elementary School and the nearby downtown area on the 27th, marking the start of the new school term.

The campaign was a joint effort of six organizations, including Damyang County, the Youth Counseling and Welfare Center 1388 Youth Support Group, Damyang Police Station, Damyang Office of Education, the Youth Harmful Environment Monitoring Group, and Damyangnam Elementary School. Notably, students of Damyangnam Elementary School led the campaign by chanting slogans such as "Prevention of School Violence" and "Prohibition of Harmful Substances for Youth" to promote youth protection.

Even after the campaign ended, inspection teams visited convenience stores, restaurants, and other places frequently visited by youth to check for violations such as the sale of alcohol and cigarettes to minors, the attachment of prohibition stickers, and the employment or entry of minors in restricted areas.

A representative from the Damyang Youth Harmful Environment Monitoring Group stated, "We will continue to work together with the 1388 Youth Support Group to conduct campaigns against school violence and harmful substances, taking the lead in spreading a culture of youth safety."
